ABOUT
Why Leadership Development for Lawyers?
The legal profession is in a time of dynamic change.  Disruptive technology, new forms of competition and radically evolving client expectations are just a few of the forces shaping the “new normal”.  Law firms need to change how they design, deliver, and price legal services.  Firms and legal departments need effective leaders who can initiate and sustain meaningful change.

Many lawyers and executives in leadership roles have little of no leadership training or coaching. Consequently, they are not prepared to effectively lead practice groups, client teams or firms through dramatic change.

Lawyers are notoriously hard to lead. Leaders need to understand and practice leadership skills to be more effective in leading change, facilitating collaboration and fueling innovation.
